SHAMPOO-SFRAY.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed December 26, 1917. Serial No. 208,728.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDERICK A. SCI-IDS- sow, citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, county of-Wayne, State of Michigan, have invented a certainnew and useful Improvement in Shampoo-Sprays, and 'declare the following tobe a full, clear, and exact description of the Same, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specifica tion.

My invention relates to a combined shampoo spray and bath tub or lavatory fixture shown in the accompanying drawings and more particularly described in the following, specifications and cla'tms.

One of the objects of this invention is to provide a device in which water may be discharged from either the bath tub or lavatory fixture,or from the shampoo spray as desired :the construction being such that the shampoo spray may be at all times connected with the bath or lavatory fixture without interfering with the operation of either, or it may be disconnected therefrom when not in use if'desired.

Another object of the invention is to relieve the rubber tubing, connecting the bath tub or lavatory fixture proper with the valve controlling the shampoo spray, of the pressure of the water following the closure of the Shampoo valve.

Another object is to providemeans adjustable in accordance with the water pressure, for governing the operation of the bath tub, or lavatory relief valve upon closing the shampoo spray valve.

Another feature of the invention is that the temperature of the water may be determined and if necessary regulated, prior to the discharge of water through the shampoo spray.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes may be made in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed without departing from the scope of this invention.

In the accompanying drawings,

Figure 1 is a vertical cross-sectional view through a bath tub fixture, and a shampoo 'sprzliy and controlling valve connected therewit 1.

Fig. 2 is a horizontal cross-sectional view Patented Feb. 19, 1918.

through the bath tub fixture and the usual hot and cold water connections.

Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the bath tub fixture and hot and cold water connections, with parts broken away.

Fig. 4 is a plan view of the perforated disk carried by the stem of the valve controlling the discharge of water to the tub, fitted with one or more screws for regulating the water pressure.

Referring now to the letters of reference placed upon the drawings, A,'B, denote respectively the hot and cold water inlet pipes under control of valves A, B. dicates a-T connecting the tail pieces of the respective valves with the fitting D.

E, denotes a valve controlling the discharge of water through the outlet D, into the tub (not shown). The valve E, is mounted on a stem E, which carries also a disk E of relatively larger diameter than the valve and spaced therefrom that the water entering'the fixture may flow between the valve and disk. E are perforations in the disk for the passage of water and E, are screw which may be used to close one or more of the perforations to secure a proper pressure.

is a cap screwed into the lower end of C, in-

balance of the fittingD, having a projecting nipple to receive the end of a piece of rubber tubing F. G, denotes a valve casing connected to the opposite end of the tubing F, fitted with a spray nozzle G. G indicates a spring-seated valve having a'stem projecting through the wall of the casing and fitted with a knob G for manually operating the valve. D indicates a closure cap for the top of the fitting D, recessed to receive and guide the cap-screw E carried on the end of the valve stem E.

Having indicated the several parts by reference letters, the construction and operation of the device will be readily understood.

Upon manually depressing the knob G8, carried by the stem of the spring seated valve G water will flow past the valve G and out through the shampoo nozzle G. Owing to the relatively greater area of the perforated disk E to the valve E, (the perforations serving for the passage of War I ting off the discharge of water at the spray nozzle G.

The water pressure being now-equalized on both faces of the disk E the valve E, is forced upward the water being free to discharge through the outlet D, into the tub.

7 One or more screws E fitted to the per forations in the'disk E are employed to close one or more openings in the disk, in

order that a proper balance of pressure may be obtained. Thus should the back-pressure tend to open the valve E, while the valve G controlling the spray nozzle is open, another opening in the disk E may be closed :whereas should the volume be too small to operate the shampoo spray a screw may be removed from the disk.

Having thus described my invention What I claim is:

1. In a device of the character described, a casing adapted to'recive water from a source of supply and provided with two discharge outlets for the 'water, a valve "adapted to close one of said outlets, a disk spaced from the valve of relatively larggr diameter than the valve and adapted to reciprocate therewith, a nozzle connected with the other discharge outlet, and a valve controlling the delivery of water through the latter, whereby upon opening the valve controlling the passage of waterthrough the nozzle, the pressure of the water upon the disk will serve to force the first named valve to its seat, or, upon closing the nozzle the pressure of the'water upon the first named valve will force it from its seat that the water intay be discharged through the other oute 2. In a device of the character described,

a casing adapted to receive water from a source of supply and provided with two discharge outlets for the water, a valve adapted to close one of said outlets, a stem securedto said valve, a perforated disk, adapted to nozzle with the other outlet of the fitting,-

and a valve controlling the discharge of water through the spray nozzle.

3. In a device-of the character described, a casing adapted for connection with a hot and cold Water supply system having two independently arranged discharge. outlets for water, a valve adapted to close one of said outlets, a stem secured to said valve, a perforated, disk secured to'the stem in spaced relation to the valve and relatively larger in diameter than the latter, removable means for closing one or more of the perforations in said disk, a spray nozzle, a flexible connection between the spray nozzle and the other water outlet of the fitting, and a manually operated valve for controlling the discharge of the water through the spray nozzle. 1

4. In a device ofthe character described,

a casing adapted for connection with a hot and cold water system, having two independently arranged discharge outlets for water, a spray nozzle connected with one of said outlets, a manually operated springseated valve for controlling the release of water through the spray nozzle, a valve fitted with a stem for controlling the discharge of water through the other outlet, and a perforated disk secured to the stem of relatively larger diameter adapted to reciprocate with the valve within the caslng. In testimony whereof, I sign this specification in the presence of two witnesses. FREDERICK A. SCHOSSOW.
